It’s Still Sonic 1

By The Autman (Pcmac user)

Christian Whiteheadand his team have provided the same classic the app game that kick-started SEGA’s mascot into the spotlight, and they have also made substancial improvements along the way. Widescreen gives you a much better view of what’s ahead and how to react, a stable framerate makes the controls buttery-smooth, and the inclusion of the spin dash makes certain sectiona a lot less of a hassle. The options to play as Tails and Knuckles are nice touches as well, allowing you to explore the levels in ways you never have before. All that said, while the game is still the classic the app 1, that means it has many of the downsides of the original that no remake can fix. Save for Green Hill, the overall level design leaves7 something to be desired (Marble and Labrinth are especially boring), the bosses are beyond easy to beat, and the special stages give me headaches from two angles; one comes from the constant spinning of the stage, and the other comes from how downfight frustrating they are. Overall, the downsides are mostly mostly mitigated by the touch-ups from mobile port, and it’s worth trying out if you haven’t played the app 1 before.
Almost awesome

By Axis Destroyer (Pcmac user)

Being the lame-o that I am, I’ve never played the original the app the Hedgehog, so seeing that there’s an app where it’s free to play made me excited! I did see the hit and miss reviews which kinda had me nervous, but I got it to see myself. The number one complaint I and the others have is the ads. My lord. Press start, ad. Start stage, ad. End stage, ad. It takes away from the experience. I get why you have ads and that’s fine, but it’s how much you get in so little time that’s aggravating. The other thing is the controls. Now I know it’s hard to take a game that had a controller and put it on mobile, but sometimes the run control can be iffy. It just doesn’t respond sometimes. But the ad thing is what’s got me most annoyed. Really other than that, it’s a cool game. For someone like me who hasn’t played it, I like it. It’s almost awesome. Just needs a few fixes. I’d download it and try it and see if you can take the ridiculous amount of ads and iffy controls. I mean the game itself is fun. Just little stuff that takes away from it.
Pretty nice!

By The Honest Review Ninja (Pcmac user)

I wanted to see if there was a the app game for my iPad, and this showed up! I downloaded it immediately! I don’t really care for the controls. To me, they make the game a little more challenging but that’s what makes it better for me! Not too easy, not too hard! However, I have one complaint: The amount of ads in this game is...well... that’s why this app has a 4 star rating. I don’t usually care for ads. The only problem I have here is that the ads are HUMONGOUS (in size). ONE AD WAS SO BIG THAT IT COVERED THE WHOLE SCREEN!!! I COULDN’T EVEN SEE A X BUTTON SO I HAD TO CLOSE THE APP. Anyways, if you’re going to have ads, please, make them so that we can see an X button and that they aren’t humongous. I know you guys won’t read this, however this note also goes to people considering to install this app. I say “Get the app, but beware of ads.” Have a nice day, reader!
The new update created more problems than it fixed

By Strikinggamer (Pcmac user)

When I saw that the app 1 was receiving an update, I was excited as I thought that they would fix the glitch where the Game Center achievement “Beat the Clock” would not be distributed. However, after the update, I was shocked to see that it created more problems than fixes. Not only was the Game Center achievement still broken, but the update also added multiple new problems. The file select now shows 7 Chaos Emeralds, yet only 6 can be acquired through normal gameplay. And if the player goes into a Giant ring at the end of Act 1, after the special stage ends or they collect a Chaos Emerald, it takes the player to Act 3 and skips Act 2. Also, a completed file now says “Special Stage 1”, but selecting the file takes you to the “Stage Select” screen. To make matters worse, the Time Trial mode is completely broken. Each zone only contains 2 acts instead of the 3, and different zones will be merged with other zone selections (Ex: Green Hill zone Act 3 in the Marble zone selection). I am very disappointed with this update for the app 1, as I was hoping that things would improve much more as time went on. I hope that these issues are resolved as quickly as possible.
